If Paper Palletes are expensive, that means the material is rare.

Always good to play around when it comes to water coloring.

130. ◆Forest Drawing Tips
Agentny003
Just cause it doesn’t look too detailed, doesn’t mean it’s bad. Sometimes it is difficult to get details of the image from long distance; always good to
improvise.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003: I feel the same way, but he still isn’t very confident in his drawing skills.
I want to help him build more confidence in himself.
Agentny003
I use saturation on my cloudy or rainy scenes. This is actually great to put out.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003: Saturation is a really difficult thing to teach, but once you make sure about it, it becomes really fun!

Too vibrant? they look fine to me. it pops out more.

@Agentny003: That's what I thought too, but apparently the colors really hurt his eyes.

Hold on so your friend’s boyfriend is a tiger? I thought it was another cat. 😄
That means he must be tall and muscular in real life.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, I think he's pretty musculra.
He's super easygoing and a really nice guy.
Mari's is lucky.

Yeah, that’s true, but for some reason I felt like I was losing out in that moment and ended up yelling lol

Agentny003
Sometimes colors you don’t like go well with the image, kiddo.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Once you figure out where to use that color, it’s time to graduate from my class.

Agentny003
The details are awesome and kiddo be careful with those flowers.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
I actually like a tea called amacha, made from hydrangeas—but it’s a little toxic too.
If you drink too much, it can make you feel sick.
So yeah, I try to keep it to about two cups a day.

Looking forward to staying in touch!

116. ◆Kneaded Eraser Tricks
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Oh, you do hand-drawn art too!
I haven’t used an eraser in about 20 years.
I get them as freebies sometimes, so they’ve just been stacking up in my cabinet.
tamakimikesaka
@NeonKitty1236-2point0
A kneaded eraser would be perfect for you.
You can shape it however you like.
Once you start using one, it’s hard to go back to regular erasers.

114. ◆Sketching a Chrysanthemum
Agentny003
@tamakimikesaka: Perhaps they’re rare.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
I guess they’re rare where you live too.
Here, we basically have to visit a botanical garden to see them.

113. ◆Sketching a Hydrangea
Agentny003
Maybe it’s because your teacher has a strong passion for art. Can’t say I blame her. 😁
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Haha, maybe that’s true.
When I get into drawing, I can go for two or three hours straight. I honestly thought that was normal.
This episode is about my adult class. It’s a two-hour class,
and we take a 15-minute break about an hour in.
My kids class is only an hour and fifteen minutes,
so I assumed they didn’t need a break.
But yesterday, one of my kids students (she’s eight) said about forty minutes in,
“Tamaki, I’m a little tired.”
I was surprised.
Then I remembered — elementary school classes are only 45 minutes long.
I guess I need to start adding a break for my kids students too.

tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
She’s one of my adult class students, not related.
She’s just so cute, like a white cat, so that’s how I drew her.
Agentny003
@tamakimikesaka: I see.

111. ◆Sketching a Gerbera from Every Angle(3/3)
Agentny003
Are aphids termites or different species of ants? 🤔
tamakimikesaka
Agentny003
Looks like it’s neither.
Apparently, they’re related to stink bugs.
And they smell really bad if you squish them.
Eeeewwwwww._:(´ཀ`」 ∠):
